The BBC One Daytime hit became the highest-rating unscripted show in its slot over the past year. Now, Helen and her crack team of divers, detectorists and magnet fishers are gearing up for another round of heartwarming hunts, as they dig deep (literally) to recover treasured possessions feared lost forever. Filming for the 16-part series kicks off in late May and promises more drama, emotion and some jaw-dropping finds - all set against the stunning backdrop of the Lakes. In series one, the team recovered everything from smart watches and phones to a drone sunk 35 metres at the bottom of Lake Windermere. But it wasn't just any drone - it held unseen wedding photos belonging to newlyweds Alex and Mary, who were desperate to get their big day memories back. After one failed mission, the team struck gold on the second attempt - bringing tears, hugs and one seriously grateful couple. The series also features a social media detective, Mui, who creates viral campaigns to track down owners - helping return GoPros to young carers in Blackpool and tech to wild swimmers and families. And if they can't reunite the items? Local craftspeople step in to give them an incredible new lease of life. Watch as Morning Live stars meet up away from the studio - as show remains off air Lost and found never looked so good. Helen said: 'I am thrilled to be returning to my home in the Lake District for a second series of Lost and Found in the Lakes. "I had a fantastic experience returning lost treasures to their owners and I cannot wait to get back to it!' Meanwhile, Gethin Jones hinted at a close relationship with Helen Skelton in a gushing interview - saying he "would always be there for her". Who hosts BBC Morning Live? Morning Live has been a staple of BBC One's daytime schedule offering for the last four years and airs directly after BBC Breakfast each weekday at 9.30am. But who presents the show? Gethin Jones Helen Skelton Michelle Ackerley Kym Marsh Sara Cox Gaby Roslin Rav Wilding Kimberley Walsh The Sun revealed that the Morning Live stars had grown 'close' off-screen with insiders suggesting "their friendship has blossomed into a deeper connection". The pair fuelled romance rumours as they cuddled up together on his motorbike. They went for breakfast in Manchester before making a quick exit on hunky Gethin's bike. Helen looked like a 70s rock chick in a brown leather jacket and flared jeans, while Gethin kept things simple in a navy jumper. She beamed before climbing behind Gethin and wrapping her arms around his waist. Gethin added to the rumours recently when he called Helen "superwoman" in an Instagram post following their 24 hour non-stop roller-skating marathon for Comic Relief. It is understood the pair have been spending an increasing amount of time together outside of the studio. A source told MailOnline: "Helen and Gethin have an extremely close working relationship and there's a feeling in recent months their friendship has blossomed into a deeper connection. "They're both keen to keep a lid on it to avoid public scrutiny but there's no denying their closeness both on and off screen." They were pictured looking close at the Baftas and, last year, were spotted at a charity ball set up by the late rugby league star Rob Burrow's sisters. A source said: "It was very clear that Helen and Gethin were together as a couple at the event. "They were with close friends of Helen's and their connection was undeniable." The insider continued: "Helen and Gethin have been able to attend events together without much fanfare purely because they're work colleagues... but anyone who has seen them at these bashes will testify they look extremely cosy." Helen's husband, rugby ace Richie Myler left her for Stephanie Thirkill in 2022. The Strictly star faced further heartbreak when her rugby player ex went on to have two children with his new love. Gethin, who has previously dated former Towie star Lucy Mecklenburgh and was engaged to mezzo-soprano singer Katherine Jenkins, recently revealed that he's had little success on the dating scene. He said he was struck off the popular dating app Hinge because women didn't believe his profile was really him.
